Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz spaghetti
- 1 lb ground beef
- 0.5 lb Italian sausage
- 24 oz marinara sauce
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions, drain, and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Add the ground beef and Italian sausage to the skillet. Cook until fully browned and no pink remains, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the marinara sauce, salt, black pepper, and dried parsley. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for 5-7 minutes while you prep the spaghetti base.
In a large bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, melted butter, milk, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the bowl with the egg mixture. Toss until the spaghetti is fully coated.
Transfer the spaghetti mixture to the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly to form a crust.
Spoon the meat sauce mixture over the spaghetti crust, spreading it out evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the spaghetti crust are golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
